Latest / Solomonster Sounds Off / AEW Dynamite 4/29/26 Review | DARBY DEFENDS And Will Ospreay TRAINS With Death Riders?
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Today was Championship Wednesday on Dynamite. We had four title
- 0:05Speaker 1: matches on this show. We had the AW World title,
- 0:08Speaker 1: we had the AW Women's Tag team titles. We had
- 0:14Speaker 1: the AW International Championship. Actually that's three championships. I said four.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Did they have four? I don't know. We had tons
- 0:25Speaker 1: of championship matches that were announced in advance of this show,
- 0:28Speaker 1: and it felt like this was some sort of special episode,
- 0:32Speaker 1: but they really just decided Tony did to load it
- 0:34Speaker 1: up with a bunch of title matches. So that's what
- 0:36Speaker 1: they did here tonight. No big title changes to talk
- 0:41Speaker 1: about here, but we had Darby Allen putting his title
- 0:45Speaker 1: on the line in the main event against Brody King,
- 0:48Speaker 1: and these two have a history together. Usually it's not
- 0:51Speaker 1: very kind to Darby. They get in the ring together,
- 0:53Speaker 1: Darby gets his ass handed to him. Tonight was no different,
- 0:58Speaker 1: nor was the outcome of Big Surprise. I've been saying
- 1:01Speaker 1: this for a few weeks now, you know, ever since
- 1:02Speaker 1: they put the belt on Darby to become pretty clear
- 1:05Speaker 1: that he's going to be defending this championship every single
- 1:08Speaker 1: week through the end of the month, through the end
- 1:10Speaker 1: of May, until we get to double do nothing and
- 1:13Speaker 1: then at that point he will lose the championship. One
- 1:15Speaker 1: would think back to MJF. But until we get there,
- 1:20Speaker 1: we're gonna have title defense after title defense after title defense,
- 1:25Speaker 1: and that will play into the story. I'm sure when
- 1:27Speaker 1: he ultimately loses the championship, because what is he doing.
- 1:30Speaker 1: It's the Orange Cassidy story when Orange Cassidy was the
- 1:32Speaker 1: International Champion and he was defending every week on TV
- 1:36Speaker 1: and every body part right was just hurting him. And
- 1:39Speaker 1: this man looked like he was eighty years old walking around, right,
- 1:42Speaker 1: How long could this guy go defending this championship at
- 1:45Speaker 1: this breakneck pace? But I think they're going to condense
- 1:49Speaker 1: the story and basically tell the same story here with Darby,
- 1:53Speaker 1: So that's what it looks like we're going to be getting.
- 1:56Speaker 1: We did have a TNT Championship match at the beginning
- 2:00Speaker 1: of the show with the Jet Kevin Knight putting his
- 2:05Speaker 1: title on the line against MJF. Now, when we found
- 2:10Speaker 1: out about this match last week, if you remember, Darby
- 2:12Speaker 1: had made a comment he said, I'm not giving you
- 2:14Speaker 1: a rematch. You want to rematch for the World Championship,
- 2:17Speaker 1: You're gonna have to put something on the line, right,
- 2:19Speaker 1: That's what he told Darby, And my first instinct was, Okay,
- 2:25Speaker 1: they're putting the TNT title on MJF. And I have
- 2:28Speaker 1: no idea why they would do this, because what does
- 2:31Speaker 1: MJF realistically have to give Darby or to put up
- 2:35Speaker 1: in a match with Darby that Darby would really give
- 2:37Speaker 1: a shit about. Right, Darby doesn't care about the Dynamite
- 2:40Speaker 1: Diamond ring, he doesn't care about the Birdberry scar if
- 2:42Speaker 1: he doesn't care about the fancy cars. They're gonna put
- 2:46Speaker 1: this TNT title on this fucking guy, and we're gonna
- 2:48Speaker 1: have a champion versus champion match at the pay per view,
- 2:51Speaker 1: and I really hope that doesn't happen. Thankfully they didn't
- 2:54Speaker 1: do that. That was the thing I was happiest with
- 2:57Speaker 1: tonight is the fact that they did not put the
- 2:59Speaker 1: TNT title ONF. I was glad that those fears were unfounded.
- 3:04Speaker 1: But what we ended up with was a hell of
- 3:06Speaker 1: an opening match and a hell of a closing match.
- 3:09Speaker 1: They started and they ended in the best possible way,
- 3:13Speaker 1: because you had two matches that delivered and we got
- 3:17Speaker 1: some other stuff in between. That was kind of a
- 3:20Speaker 1: mixed bag. But I was really impressed with that opening match.
- 3:24Speaker 1: I was really impressed, honestly with the crowd tonight. Now,
- 3:27Speaker 1: they also had Coping Christian on this show. Very rare
- 3:31Speaker 1: that we see Adam Copeland and Christian Cage wrestling together
- 3:34Speaker 1: on television. In fact, I can't remember the last time
- 3:37Speaker 1: that they had a tag team match together on TV.
- 3:40Speaker 1: So we had that as well. They had over fifty
- 3:43Speaker 1: two hundred people in the building tonight. They were in Fairfax,
- 3:47Speaker 1: Virginia for the show, and that sounded very high to me.
- 3:51Speaker 1: You know, when you hear about these Dynamite crowds and
- 3:54Speaker 1: the Dynamite attendants. So I jumped on wrestle ticks before.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I wanted to see how many people were going to
- 3:59Speaker 1: be in the because I'm watching this opening match and
- 4:01Speaker 1: it's super fucking loud in there, and like the people
- 4:03Speaker 1: are into it, and I'm like, Okay, I wonder how
- 4:06Speaker 1: many people are there. Tonight's Dynamite crowd was their largest
- 4:11Speaker 1: domestic attendance for a Dynamite since Grand Slam in September
- 4:17Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four. It beat every domestic Dynamite that
- 4:23Speaker 1: they did in attendance in all of twenty twenty five.
- 4:27Speaker 1: That's pretty crazy. And they were in Virginia, so they
- 4:30Speaker 1: didn't even have Hangman there. You would think maybe, you know,
- 4:34Speaker 1: they would be promoting his return or something on this show.
- 4:36Speaker 1: He wasn't even on the show. But good for them,
- 4:39Speaker 1: I mean, by aw standards in terms of Dynamite attendance,
- 4:42Speaker 1: that's a fucking great number and you would hope that
- 4:44Speaker 1: they would be able to build on that. But what
- 4:46Speaker 1: it tells you is that they're doing something right now,
- 4:50Speaker 1: something that they weren't doing six months ago, something that
- 4:53Speaker 1: they weren't doing nine months ago or twelve months ago.
- 4:56Speaker 1: So what is it? What is it that is eating
- 5:00Speaker 1: to them seeing these increases in the houses from week
- 5:04Speaker 1: to week right Something is resonating, something is clicking. They
- 5:08Speaker 1: have a lot of issues still and that they're very
- 5:10Speaker 1: much you know, it's an imperfect, you know product, but
- 5:14Speaker 1: they're doing something that is at least keeping people tuned
- 5:17Speaker 1: in and keeping people who are watching the show keeping
- 5:22Speaker 1: their attention and saying, hey, you know what, I'm interested
- 5:24Speaker 1: in this. I think it all goes back to the
- 5:26Speaker 1: world title scene. This has been the case since MJF
- 5:28Speaker 1: had won the championship. Back there was a clear focus
- 5:31Speaker 1: around the aw World title in that main event scene,
- 5:35Speaker 1: which was and still is very very strong. So now
- 5:38Speaker 1: MJF doesn't have the belt, that's only temporary. Darby has
- 5:42Speaker 1: the belt. But you got MJF, you got Darby. They're
- 5:44Speaker 1: roping Kevin Knight into this. Kenny Omega had his shot
- 5:47Speaker 1: at the championship. Brody King has had a couple of
- 5:49Speaker 1: shots now at the championship this year. That should be
- 5:53Speaker 1: his last for a while, and so on and so on.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Right Swab Strickland wants the bell, Will Osprey wants the bell.
- 5:59Speaker 1: John Moxley at some point he'll probably want to get
- 6:01Speaker 1: the belt back. Everybody wants to be the champion and
- 6:05Speaker 1: that's great because the title should be the focal point.
- 6:07Speaker 1: The title should be the centerpiece of the show. And
- 6:10Speaker 1: they have a very strong main events scene right now.
- 6:14Speaker 1: I think that has a lot to do with this,
- 6:16Speaker 1: you know, renewed interest in the product. So hopefully they
- 6:20Speaker 1: will continue to build on this and keep the focus
- 6:23Speaker 1: on the championship and continue to cycle in you know,
- 6:27Speaker 1: new challengers as we go along here. But yeah, how
- 6:30Speaker 1: about that biggest us A dynamite crowd in a very
- 6:35Speaker 1: long time tonight, And kudos to that crowd too, because
- 6:38Speaker 1: they were very loud and they were very energetic throughout
- 6:40Speaker 1: the show. And in case you were wondering, completely off
- 6:44Speaker 1: topic here has nothing to do with AW, but I
- 6:48Speaker 1: did check in before I went live tonight. The Mets
- 6:52Speaker 1: got crushed by the Nationals tonight fourteen to two. They
- 6:59Speaker 1: have now lost sixteen of their last nineteen games. They
- 7:07Speaker 1: own the worst record in all of Major League Baseball
- 7:12Speaker 1: ten and twenty the worst record in Major League Baseball,
- 7:17Speaker 1: by the way, on the largest payroll three hundred and
- 7:20Speaker 1: thirty million dollars. I think I have the perfect sound
- 7:25Speaker 1: effect for this. You suck. Welcome tier AW Dynamite review.
- 7:31Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, the final Wednesday here for the month
- 7:34Speaker 1: of April, a big, big month of April that we
- 7:37Speaker 1: have had here on the channel. April twenty ninth, twenty
- 7:41Speaker 1: twenty six. Yes, it is. It is very brutal, it is.
- 7:47Speaker 1: It is. Yes, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to have to
- 7:50Speaker 1: be the bearer of bad news, but I saw that
- 7:53Speaker 1: before I went live. I said, well, I have to.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I have to share this bit of information anyway. Thank
- 7:59Speaker 1: you for joining me here on a Wednesday night. Hit
- 8:01Speaker 1: that subscribe button if you have not already done, so
- 8:04Speaker 1: hit that like button as well. Super chats are open.
- 8:08Speaker 1: I don't know how many of them there will be tonight,
- 8:10Speaker 1: but those of you who choose to support you demand
- 8:14Speaker 1: I appreciate it very much and I'll read your messages
- 8:16Speaker 1: here in just a little bit. For those of you
- 8:18Speaker 1: who may have missed it, I also want to remind
- 8:21Speaker 1: you because some people were asking me about it if
- 8:23Speaker 1: I was going to do it on the sound Duff
- 8:24Speaker 1: this past weekend. I did do it the other day,
- 8:28Speaker 1: a review with my thoughts on the Hulk Hogan Netflix
- 8:31Speaker 1: docu series. It is up right now here on this
- 8:33Speaker 1: channel about thirty minutes or so. So if you want
- 8:36Speaker 1: to go check that out, that was uploaded yesterday, So
- 8:40Speaker 1: please go ahead and do so, leave some comments and
- 8:42Speaker 1: let me know what you thought. If you watch the
- 8:44Speaker 1: docu series. I'd be curious to get your feedback on
- 8:47Speaker 1: that as well. Let's go ahead and spin the wheel
- 8:49Speaker 1: here and see how many likes we need for be
- 8:52Speaker 1: the booker tonight. Always very hit or miss on Wednesdays.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Don't know if we're going to do it. Find out
- 9:06Speaker 1: is that true. Virginia has only gotten a WWE event
- 9:10Speaker 1: once since twenty twenty three. Maybe that's why it's hot.
- 9:16Speaker 1: So your logic is that they're just starved for any
- 9:19Speaker 1: rest lads possible, It's possible. I don't know what the
- 9:22Speaker 1: independence scene is like there. It's a good question. Four
- 9:27Speaker 1: hundred likes that's usually the standard here, so that's not
- 9:30Speaker 1: too terrible. I still don't know that we're going to
- 9:31Speaker 1: hit that, but if we have four hundred likes, we
- 9:33Speaker 1: will do our be the booker segment a little bit
- 9:35Speaker 1: later on. So there you go. I think we're right
- 9:38Speaker 1: around two seventy ish right now, So again, four hundred
- 9:41Speaker 1: is the goal. Let's get into this show. Here. Was
- 9:43Speaker 1: good to see Taz back on commentary. He's been gone
- 9:47Speaker 1: for a while and so now he was back tonight
- 9:49Speaker 1: with ex Caliber and Tony Shiavanni, and they had plenty
- 9:53Speaker 1: of title matches to choose from tonight. They chose to
- 9:56Speaker 1: open with the TNT Championship with MJF challenging Kevin Knight
- 10:01Speaker 1: for the TNT title. So right out of the gate,
- 10:05Speaker 1: MJF goes at Night right from the opening bell sends
- 10:08Speaker 1: him outside. So Knight mounted a comeback here and he
- 10:14Speaker 1: did this big drop kick into a kip up and
- 10:16Speaker 1: again these people are going nuts for this guy, which
- 10:18Speaker 1: is great to see. That's what you want to see,
- 10:20Speaker 1: right because he's someone who's on the upswing, so they're
- 10:23Speaker 1: going nuts for him here in Fairfax. And three or
- 10:27Speaker 1: four different times MJF rolled out of the ring. He
- 10:30Speaker 1: almost did like the Orange Cassidy slow roll out of
- 10:32Speaker 1: the ring to try to avoid some sort of move
- 10:35Speaker 1: from Kevin Knight, and Night was like, yeah, that's not
- 10:37Speaker 1: going to work. And so each time he would do that,
- 10:41Speaker 1: Knight ended up doing some sort of dive out of
- 10:44Speaker 1: the ring. So the first time it was a slingshot
- 10:47Speaker 1: crossbody and then he hit his suicide dive. I think
- 10:49Speaker 1: he did a somersault dive and then a springboard dive.
- 10:53Speaker 1: And each time he just took this guy out outside
- 10:56Speaker 1: the ring. But Knight sold a knee injury on his
- 11:00Speaker 1: feet coming off the top rope at one point, so
- 11:03Speaker 1: MJF targeted the knee. He caught Knight with a Panama sunrise.
- 11:07Speaker 1: I wonder who he learned that from. Night landed hiss
- 11:10Speaker 1: Ufo splash a little while later, but was selling the knee.
- 11:13Speaker 1: He couldn't make the cover in time. These fucking people
- 11:15Speaker 1: in this crowd were losing their minds trying to will
- 11:18Speaker 1: him over to MJF to make this cover, and finally
- 11:22Speaker 1: he did, but he had let too much time go by,
- 11:24Speaker 1: so MJF was able to kick at it too. So
- 11:27Speaker 1: MJF now goes and grabs the TNT title from Ringsiden.
- 11:31Speaker 1: He brings it into the ring right in full view
- 11:32Speaker 1: of the referee and he teases that he's going to
- 11:35Speaker 1: use it. Referee takes the belt away from him, and
- 11:37Speaker 1: of course this is his cue to pull out the
- 11:40Speaker 1: dynamite diamond ring. He had a big, fat smile on
- 11:42Speaker 1: his face. Referee's attention is diverted here for a few moments,
- 11:47Speaker 1: and as soon as MJF turns around, Kevin Knight drops
- 11:49Speaker 1: down and he delivers a low blow and then he
- 11:53Speaker 1: cradles him into a pin and he pins MJF to
- 11:57Speaker 1: retain the TNT Championship and MJF sold this. He was
- 12:01Speaker 1: in shock. His eyes were wide, he couldn't believe it.
- 12:05Speaker 1: And then he chopped blocked Knight as he was celebrating,
- 12:09Speaker 1: and he was about to use the diamond ring when
- 12:11Speaker 1: Darby Allen repelled from the ceiling Like father, like son
- 12:16Speaker 1: and he lands and he unhooks himself and he gets
- 12:18Speaker 1: in the ring and he grabs MJF drops him with
- 12:22Speaker 1: a scorpion death drop. So MJF he crawls up the
- 12:26Speaker 1: aisle to the stage and he's got a microphone and
- 12:29Speaker 1: he said, the fans suck, and he doesn't care about
- 12:31Speaker 1: Kevin Knight. He wasn't even really trying in this match,
- 12:34Speaker 1: so it doesn't really count. The only thing he cares
- 12:37Speaker 1: about is his triple B and he wants his rematch,
- 12:41Speaker 1: Give me my fucking rematch, And Darby tells him exactly
- 12:45Speaker 1: what he told him last week. He goes, no, you
- 12:49Speaker 1: get no rematch unless you put something on the line.
- 12:53Speaker 1: So Darby says, if I make it past Brody King tonight,
- 12:57Speaker 1: I think I know who deserves the next shot. He
- 13:00Speaker 1: looks over in the corner and Kevin Knight is crouched
- 13:04Speaker 1: in the corner and he's staring at Kevin Knight. So
- 13:11Speaker 1: Darby Allen is in the ring, MJF is in the
- 13:14Speaker 1: aisleway and here it comes Brodie King, and Brodie King
- 13:18Speaker 1: briefly gets up in mjf's face and he continues walking
- 13:23Speaker 1: towards the ring and he gets inside and he says
- 13:28Speaker 1: he's got bad news for Darby, You're not gonna survive tonight,
- 13:32Speaker 1: and then he looks over at Kevin Knight he tells him,
- 13:34Speaker 1: I got some bad news for you too, because next
- 13:37Speaker 1: week you're not gonna be facing this guy, You're gonna
- 13:40Speaker 1: be facing me. And that's how they close things here
- 13:44Speaker 1: a little teas of the world title match coming up
- 13:46Speaker 1: later on in the show. I'm very very happy that
- 13:49Speaker 1: they did not put that TNT title on mj I
- 13:52Speaker 1: was convinced that that's where this was leading, and I
- 13:55Speaker 1: just couldn't wrap my head around it, because what sense
- 13:58Speaker 1: would that even make. It's twofold, really number one, if
- 14:02Speaker 1: you're gonna run back Darby and MJF, there's no need
- 14:05Speaker 1: to have any other championship on the line. There's only
- 14:07Speaker 1: one title that matters here. That's number one. Number two.
- 14:11Speaker 1: You're giving this big push to Kevin Knight. Don't cut
- 14:14Speaker 1: his legs off, you know what I mean? And I
- 14:17Speaker 1: mentioned this last week. I did the same thing with
- 14:19Speaker 1: Tomaso Champa when he first came in, he won the
- 14:21Speaker 1: TNT title, didn't even last two weeks with it. Don't
- 14:25Speaker 1: do the same thing to Kevin Knight, so I was
- 14:27Speaker 1: very happy they didn't do that, and I actually I
- 14:29Speaker 1: also thought it was a very good match. But all
- 14:33Speaker 1: this talk about you have to put something on the line,
- 14:35Speaker 1: you have to put something on the line, And if
- 14:38Speaker 1: it's not gonna be another championship, what could he possibly
- 14:40Speaker 1: put on the line. My guess is the only logical
- 14:44Speaker 1: thing here is that as MJF sees Darby doling out
- 14:49Speaker 1: these title matches and giving out these title matches like
- 14:51Speaker 1: candy to different people every single week, everybody but him,
- 14:55Speaker 1: it will continue to drive him over the edge and
- 14:58Speaker 1: he's gonna get desperate, and the stipulation could very well
- 15:01Speaker 1: be that he will put his career on the line,
- 15:05Speaker 1: or even something similar to the Hangman match where it
- 15:07Speaker 1: was like, if you don't win, you can never again
- 15:09Speaker 1: challenge for the title. He may do the same thing.
- 15:11Speaker 1: He may put his own career on the line in
- 15:13Speaker 1: that regard and say, if I can't beat you, then
- 15:16Speaker 1: I can't challenge for this championship again. That's probably the
- 15:20Speaker 1: type of stipulation that we're looking at here, because there
- 15:23Speaker 1: just isn't anything else to me that really makes sense.
- 15:26Speaker 1: So I would imagine that that's where this is all
- 15:30Speaker 1: leading as far as when we get the announcement of
- 15:32Speaker 1: what that stipulation is. I don't know if it's next
- 15:34Speaker 1: week or the week after again double or nothing. Is
- 15:37Speaker 1: May twenty fourth, I believe, And it's not even May yet,
- 15:40Speaker 1: so they still have a little bit of time, but
- 15:42Speaker 1: I think it may be something along those lines. I'm
- 15:45Speaker 1: not a fan of MJF losing so many matches, Okay,
- 15:48Speaker 1: I know that that's probably a criticism that many of
- 15:51Speaker 1: you have as well. He should not be losing constantly
- 15:56Speaker 1: on television. They did the finish in a way that
- 15:58Speaker 1: was designed to at least protect him because he got
- 16:01Speaker 1: low blowed. Referee didn't see it. I actually like that
- 16:06Speaker 1: aspect of it, because this is the second time now
- 16:09Speaker 1: that you've had a babyface. I always talk about dumb
- 16:13Speaker 1: babyface syndrome in wrestling, Right, there's so many dumb fucking babyfaces.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Ww we a w it doesn't really matter, right. They
- 16:21Speaker 1: don't learn from their mistakes, and they don't wear a
- 16:25Speaker 1: protective cup, which MJF should probably start doing. So it's
- 16:30Speaker 1: kind of nice that now the tables are turned right.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Darby knows all of this guy's tricks, and he threw
- 16:36Speaker 1: it right back in his face when he won the
- 16:37Speaker 1: title from him. That's what Kevin Knight did tonight. He
- 16:42Speaker 1: knows what MJF does at the end of these matches,
- 16:44Speaker 1: and so he gave it to him before he could
- 16:46Speaker 1: do it to Kevin Knight, and he won. So MJF
- 16:50Speaker 1: is kind of getting his come up, and in that
- 16:52Speaker 1: regard all the shit that he usually does to other people.
- 16:55Speaker 1: They're beating him to the punch and doing it to him.
- 16:57Speaker 1: That's the story here, but we get the picture, like
- 17:01Speaker 1: I don't need to see him lose again next week
- 17:03Speaker 1: and the week after that, you know, I mean again.
- 17:06Speaker 1: You look at the year he's had so far. He
- 17:08Speaker 1: got squashed by Brodie King earlier this year, right back
- 17:12Speaker 1: in January, he got squashed by Darby. Now he's lost
- 17:17Speaker 1: to Kevin Knight. I know he can withstand it because
- 17:22Speaker 1: he's MJF, so he's going to be okay, But like, still,
- 17:26Speaker 1: I would not be beating him like a drum. Hopefully this
- 17:29Speaker 1: ends here and this is not something that becomes a
- 17:32Speaker 1: recurring theme on this show. But again, the match was great,
- 17:36Speaker 1: the crowd was hot, and Kevin Knight is the real deal,
- 17:40Speaker 1: the only thing with Kevin Knight. He just needs to
- 17:42Speaker 1: work on his promos. That's more a product of just
- 17:46Speaker 1: getting him in the ring with people like MJF and
- 17:48Speaker 1: putting a mic in his hand and just giving him
- 17:51Speaker 1: more opportunities to go out there and not just address
- 17:54Speaker 1: the crowd, but just interact with other people on the mic.
- 17:58Speaker 1: And I think the more they do that, better he'll get,
- 18:00Speaker 1: you know, the more comfortable he'll get at it. The
- 18:03Speaker 1: en ring stuff. I mean, the crowd is into him
- 18:06Speaker 1: when he's out there and he's wrestling whoever, it doesn't
- 18:08Speaker 1: matter who it is, they're behind him. You know, he's
- 18:11Speaker 1: been he's been someone who if you watch these shows,
- 18:16Speaker 1: you can tell Tony Kahan is very high on him.
- 18:20Speaker 1: If he's truly high on Kevin Knight, then just keep
- 18:23Speaker 1: pushing him, right, don't again, don't cut off his legs,
- 18:26Speaker 1: don't don't start beating him or we start wondering, Oh,
- 18:32Speaker 1: you know he's not on the show every week. Like
- 18:34Speaker 1: what he's doing with him now is great. You know
- 18:37Speaker 1: you're featuring him on the show. You're you're having him
- 18:39Speaker 1: interact with some of your top names. This week it
- 18:42Speaker 1: was MJF. Next week he's gonna be wrestling Darby Allen,
- 18:46Speaker 1: and we know he's not gonna win, so they're putting
- 18:49Speaker 1: him in a situation where he's he's gonna lose. I mean,
- 18:53Speaker 1: I suppose mjf could could get involved, but he's not
- 18:56Speaker 1: gonna win. We know this. But they have him in
- 19:00Speaker 1: the main events scene, which is a great place for
- 19:03Speaker 1: him to be. Yeah. I said this earlier this year,
- 19:07Speaker 1: coming out of the Continental Classic. This year for him
- 19:10Speaker 1: should be what twenty twenty five was for Kyle Fletcher.
- 19:15Speaker 1: In Kyle Fletcher, they made a star. I'm not saying
- 19:18Speaker 1: he's the biggest star in the company, but they took
- 19:21Speaker 1: a guy who was part of a tag team and
- 19:23Speaker 1: they turned him into a legitimate star for them in
- 19:26Speaker 1: this company. They could do the same thing with Kevin
- 19:28Speaker 1: Knight this year. They're well on their way. Just keep
- 19:31Speaker 1: doing what you're doing. The fans have taken to him.
- 19:33Speaker 1: They like him. He's super talented, so I like what
- 19:37Speaker 1: they're doing with him right now. Hopefully they could just
- 19:39Speaker 1: continue down that path. Jamie Hater has been medically cleared then,
- 19:44Speaker 1: so she was back in action tonight. Her and Alex
- 19:46Speaker 1: Windsor back as a tag team against Emily j and
- 19:51Speaker 1: Jordan Blade. This one about as long as you would
- 19:56Speaker 1: expect it to Brawling Birds. They made short work of
- 19:59Speaker 1: these two women. They finished them off with their two birds,
- 20:02Speaker 1: one stone. Not much else to say about this. It
- 20:05Speaker 1: was a simple squash, just to get them back in
- 20:08Speaker 1: the win column. I still think that all roads lead
- 20:12Speaker 1: to London and then winning the tag team titles there.
- 20:17Speaker 1: I think that's where we end up with this. But
- 20:20Speaker 1: whenever it actually happens, these two will be the ones
- 20:23Speaker 1: to take the tag belts off of Megan Bain A
- 20:26Speaker 1: Leena Cross. I think Wembley would be the best place
- 20:29Speaker 1: for it. Where else where else would the Brawling Birds
- 20:33Speaker 1: win the tag team titles if not London. You got
- 20:37Speaker 1: this big London show coming up in a few months.
- 20:39Speaker 1: It just makes all the sense in the world. Backstage,
- 20:43Speaker 1: Tekla was with sky Blue No Julia Hart, I don't
- 20:48Speaker 1: know where she was. Tekla said, Look, I wish I
- 20:52Speaker 1: could stop calling people dumb bitches, but there's just too
- 20:55Speaker 1: many in aw for me to stop. That's like me
- 20:57Speaker 1: on social media. There's a lot of dumb bitches on
- 21:01Speaker 1: social media. And I don't mean women, I just mean
- 21:03Speaker 1: dumb bitches all over social media, and I would love,
- 21:08Speaker 1: I would love to stop calling them dumb bitches, but
- 21:10Speaker 1: there's just too many of them. I can't stop. I
- 21:12Speaker 1: can't help myself. I can relate to Tecla, so sky
- 21:17Speaker 1: Blue said that she feels sorry for Persephone because she
- 21:20Speaker 1: got misted last week by Julia, but it's the best
- 21:23Speaker 1: thing that ever happened to her, so maybe you'll open
- 21:26Speaker 1: her eyes. Tecla talked somehit about the Brawling Birds and
- 21:29Speaker 1: said that one on one, she's everything. They are nothing,
- 21:34Speaker 1: so stick to being a tag team. We got Kazushka
- 21:39Speaker 1: Okada defending the International Championship against Ace Austen here on
- 21:48Speaker 1: this show. This is only the seventh title defense for
- 21:53Speaker 1: Okada since he won that championship uh and really his
- 21:58Speaker 1: seventh title defense since Forbidden Door in August, and as
- 22:04Speaker 1: far as as Austin is concerned, this is his third
- 22:07Speaker 1: match ever on Dynamite, and his run in this company
- 22:12Speaker 1: only really goes back to like last summer, so since
- 22:15Speaker 1: last August, same month, only his third match here on
- 22:18Speaker 1: this show, and he's wrestling Okada for the International title.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Why I have no fucking idea, but this is the
- 22:25Speaker 1: match they announced, so Austin got a you got a
- 22:29Speaker 1: decent amount of shine here. But I mean there were
- 22:31Speaker 1: two standing dropkicks that Okada delivered, and the first one
- 22:36Speaker 1: was that the first one. It was the first one
- 22:38Speaker 1: he dropped kicked him out of midair. But both of
- 22:40Speaker 1: these dropkicks like right in the kisser. I mean, he
- 22:44Speaker 1: fucking wrecked him with these dropkicks. I mean they were
- 22:47Speaker 1: just they were so perfect. So Austin Doctor Rainmaker attempted
- 22:51Speaker 1: into a backslide for a very close two count. Okata
- 22:54Speaker 1: got up, he hit that second drop kick, followed by
- 22:58Speaker 1: a tombstone and then finally a maker for the win.
- 23:02Speaker 1: As Okada was celebrating with the various Kallus family members
- 23:06Speaker 1: in the ring, Kenoski Takeshta walks out on stage, which
- 23:09Speaker 1: is where he stays, and he looks at Okado. Okada
- 23:12Speaker 1: looks back at him, and Takesha makes the belt gesture
- 23:16Speaker 1: around his waist, signaling that he's coming for that International
- 23:20Speaker 1: Championship at double or nothing. I am looking very forward
- 23:23Speaker 1: to this match. I've been waiting for the rematch since December.
- 23:26Speaker 1: I'm glad we're finally getting it. I'm not convinced that
- 23:29Speaker 1: that will be the end of it, or that Takesha
- 23:31Speaker 1: will even win the belt at double or nothing. I
- 23:34Speaker 1: still think that Tony wants to do this match at
- 23:36Speaker 1: Wembley Stadium. We may end up with three matches. Okata
- 23:41Speaker 1: may win the first two and then Takesha wins the
- 23:43Speaker 1: title at the end of the summer. I could see that.
- 23:47Speaker 1: I just want to see the match, no tournament, just
- 23:51Speaker 1: you have an actual story here. These two men do
- 23:54Speaker 1: not like each other. You put them in the ring,
- 23:56Speaker 1: you ring the bell, you let them do their thing.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Match of the night. Can't wait. I've been waiting a
- 24:04Speaker 1: long time for this match. We got a promo in
- 24:08Speaker 1: the Wild West. You remember they've done these vignettes before
- 24:12Speaker 1: for Bandido, which are very well done, very cinematic in nature.
- 24:20Speaker 1: And so we're back to the Wild West and we
- 24:22Speaker 1: see various patrons from the town saloon who are fleeing
- 24:28Speaker 1: the saloon, and then this other man comes out. We
- 24:31Speaker 1: can't see who it is, but he's got blood on
- 24:32Speaker 1: his hands. He's walking along and he reaches down he
- 24:38Speaker 1: picks up a wanted poster for Bandido, and the camera
- 24:43Speaker 1: pans up and then we find out that it is
- 24:45Speaker 1: Swerve Strickland. He's back. We haven't seen him in a while,
- 24:50Speaker 1: although he was at the NFL Draft. Earlier in the show,
- 24:53Speaker 1: they actually showed photos of him at the NFL Draft.
- 24:57Speaker 1: He had a photo of Michael Keaton, f and Batman.
- 25:00Speaker 1: They took a Where's Joseph Stewart when you need him?
- 25:03Speaker 1: Swerve and Batman in the same photo together, So he
- 25:07Speaker 1: is back. Prince Nana was there as well. Prince Nana
- 25:11Speaker 1: handed him a lighter of some sort and almost like
- 25:14Speaker 1: a little mini blowtorch, and he kind of blew a
- 25:16Speaker 1: hole in the middle of the wanted poster and then
- 25:19Speaker 1: he shot a death stare into the camera. It's good
- 25:23Speaker 1: to have Swerve back on TV. But I think someone
- 25:26Speaker 1: should probably tell Swerve that again, Darby Allen is handing
- 25:30Speaker 1: out world title matches like they're going out of style.
- 25:33Speaker 1: You would think that, if anything, Swerve would come back
- 25:35Speaker 1: and would go and ask Darby for a championship match. Instead,
- 25:40Speaker 1: he's coming after Bandido for reasons that are unexplained. I
- 25:44Speaker 1: can't wait for that promo to find out why he's
- 25:46Speaker 1: going after Bandido. But even if he had a good
- 25:50Speaker 1: reason to go after Bandido, I don't know why he
- 25:52Speaker 1: wouldn't go after Darby other than they obviously don't want
- 25:56Speaker 1: him challenging Darby right now for the belt. But it
- 25:59Speaker 1: just defy all logic. This man's given out title matches
- 26:03Speaker 1: every week. Why would Swerve not be the first man
- 26:06Speaker 1: in line? All right? We know the title is so
- 26:09Speaker 1: important to him. Hangman can't wait in line because he
- 26:12Speaker 1: can't challenge for the title anymore. Swerve can. But evidently
- 26:16Speaker 1: he's going after Bandido. I do know this Swerve against
- 26:20Speaker 1: Bandido is gonna be a great addition to that double
- 26:23Speaker 1: or nothing card. That's another match that I very much
- 26:27Speaker 1: would like to see. Gonna be a great match. Just
- 26:32Speaker 1: wondering why he's choosing to go after this man. This
- 26:35Speaker 1: man is not actually he is a champion. He's got
- 26:38Speaker 1: the wrong belt though he's the Ring of Honor world champion.
- 26:42Speaker 1: Is Swerve going after the Ring of Honor world title? Why?
- 26:47Speaker 1: Why would he he picked the wrong belt? Hey, butter
- 26:58Speaker 1: you're welcome. Butter Cream, You're welcome. I can't have butter
- 27:02Speaker 1: cream anymore. You all can get creamed. I can't do
- 27:09Speaker 1: that anymore. We recapped some footage here from Collision because
- 27:14Speaker 1: you remember on Dynamite last week the death Riders kidnapped
- 27:17Speaker 1: well ospray. We never found out what happened him, you
- 27:20Speaker 1: would have had you have to tune into Collision to
- 27:22Speaker 1: find out. So on Collision, there was a vignette where
- 27:28Speaker 1: Moxley is sitting in a chair, the Death Riders are there,
- 27:32Speaker 1: Osprey is sitting in a chair and Moxley proposes, he
- 27:37Speaker 1: made a proposition to Osprey that he wanted to help
- 27:41Speaker 1: make him the most dangerous version of himself that he
- 27:43Speaker 1: has ever seen. He wants to help him. It's like
- 27:47Speaker 1: he wants to mentor him. And so that was the
- 27:51Speaker 1: gist of it. He had kicked the death Riders out.
- 27:55Speaker 1: He laid down face down on the ground, left a
- 27:58Speaker 1: chair there and told Osprey do you got to do?
- 28:01Speaker 1: And Osprey picked up the chair. He was kind of hesitating,
- 28:05Speaker 1: and that was the end of the vignettes, so we
- 28:06Speaker 1: don't know what happened there. So this was the follow up.
- 28:10Speaker 1: So they cut to the back somewhere and the death
- 28:14Speaker 1: Riders are just sort of training. They're in like a
- 28:16Speaker 1: hallway or something, and Osprey shows up. It's like he's
- 28:21Speaker 1: showing up with the dojo. He walks in and Moxley
- 28:26Speaker 1: goes over to him and he says, did you get cleared?
- 28:30Speaker 1: And Osprey says, no, no, no, I didn't. But he goes,
- 28:38Speaker 1: it's not stopping me from going to Japan. Me and
- 28:40Speaker 1: my boys have a big title match coming up. Moxley said,
- 28:43Speaker 1: I like that. It shows loyalty. So he tells Ospray
- 28:47Speaker 1: he I should have mentioned this. So Pack is standing
- 28:50Speaker 1: there and Pack is just stonefaced, right because he doesn't
- 28:54Speaker 1: clearly approve of any of this. He doesn't like well,
- 28:56Speaker 1: Osprey just a blank expression on his face, and Moxley
- 29:02Speaker 1: is looking at Pack and he actually he poked him
- 29:05Speaker 1: in the stomach like the fucking Pillsbury dough boy to
- 29:07Speaker 1: try to get him to crack, and Pack is like,
- 29:08Speaker 1: what the fuck are you doing? I thought that was
- 29:12Speaker 1: kind of amusing. So Moxley tells Osprey, here's what you
- 29:16Speaker 1: need to do. You need to drop everything everything that
- 29:19Speaker 1: clouds you, all of this, everything that clouds your vision,
- 29:23Speaker 1: everything that makes you see things that aren't there, whatever
- 29:26Speaker 1: pulls at your heart strings, the anger that burns a
- 29:29Speaker 1: hole in your stomach. Drop all of that excess baggage
- 29:33Speaker 1: because we don't need it. It says Osbury's Feelings about
- 29:37Speaker 1: Moxley drop it. Moxley doesn't promise miracles, but when he
- 29:41Speaker 1: promises something, he sees it through until the very end.
- 29:44Speaker 1: All he asks for is the same in return, and
- 29:47Speaker 1: so Osprey agrees to this. He agrees to these terms
- 29:51Speaker 1: and then he asks, so where's the ring. There's no ring.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Claudio takes it. It's actually kind of a weird ending
- 29:59Speaker 1: here because Moxley says, no, no, there is no ring.
- 30:02Speaker 1: The implication is that they're just going to start like
- 30:04Speaker 1: training and rolling around on the floor right where they are.
- 30:07Speaker 1: But he goes, there's no ring, and Claudio at that moment,
- 30:09Speaker 1: takes his shirt off. And then at that point Moxley
- 30:13Speaker 1: acknowledges the camera and he says no, no, like we're
- 30:16Speaker 1: we're not showing this right, and that's where it cuts off.
- 30:18Speaker 1: But it's kind of like, it's kind of weird, like no, no, no,
- 30:21Speaker 1: there's no ring here. And then the last thing we
- 30:22Speaker 1: see is Claudio taking his shirt off. It's like, what
- 30:25Speaker 1: are they about to do here? What exactly does this
- 30:30Speaker 1: session involve here? I don't know because it ended there
- 30:34Speaker 1: and they cut away. I gotta tell you, you know.
- 30:37Speaker 1: My thoughts on the Death Riders the Death Riders. It's
- 30:41Speaker 1: it's just such a weird fucking group. They have been
- 30:45Speaker 1: through a lot of transformations, ups and downs. The best
- 30:52Speaker 1: thing is that they got the world title away from
- 30:53Speaker 1: them and they're not carrying it around at a briefcase anymore.
- 30:56Speaker 1: So that's good. I am stunned that they are still together.
- 31:01Speaker 1: I thought by now that they would have split them up.
- 31:04Speaker 1: It kind of felt like there was a way to
- 31:07Speaker 1: tell that story Tony didn't want to tell. That's actually
- 31:10Speaker 1: Moxley probably didn't want to tell that story because I'm
- 31:12Speaker 1: sure Moxley has basically creative control and creative cart planche
- 31:16Speaker 1: over this whole thing. I wouldn't be surprised if he's
- 31:19Speaker 1: basically booking his own stuff. And so the Death Riders
- 31:23Speaker 1: live on and Moxley for a while there was a
- 31:27Speaker 1: babyface and being cheered like a baby face, and the
- 31:29Speaker 1: other members weren't. And then Will Osprey came back, and
- 31:32Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Moxley was back to acting like
- 31:35Speaker 1: a heel. And back and forth we go, and back
- 31:39Speaker 1: and forth. I'm like, what's going on here? But Moxley
- 31:43Speaker 1: wrestles Osprey and beats him, and I look at this
- 31:48Speaker 1: and I go, okay, I see the vision. Because if
- 31:52Speaker 1: the vision is will Ospray winning the world title this year,
- 31:58Speaker 1: then it's going to happen in August. So how do
- 32:01Speaker 1: you get there? Because the Owen, you know, you got
- 32:03Speaker 1: to remember, the All In show in Texas last year
- 32:06Speaker 1: was in July. This year it's about a month and
- 32:08Speaker 1: a half later, maybe six weeks. So the Owen probably
- 32:15Speaker 1: is not going to begin until. I mean it'll be
- 32:18Speaker 1: after double or nothing, most likely. What do you do
- 32:21Speaker 1: with will Ospbury in the meantime? What kind of story
- 32:24Speaker 1: do you want to tell with will Osprey before he
- 32:27Speaker 1: punches his ticket to the main event of All In.
- 32:30Speaker 1: They have chosen to tell the story of his neck,
- 32:33Speaker 1: because every time he's in the ring, it's all about
- 32:35Speaker 1: the neck, and he's got the tape all over the
- 32:37Speaker 1: neck and he's gonna kill, nearly kill himself, and every
- 32:39Speaker 1: single match he gets dropped on his head. They overdo
- 32:43Speaker 1: it a bit, but it's this story of perseverance. Right.
- 32:48Speaker 1: He went in there and he lost to John Moxley,
- 32:51Speaker 1: the guy that he wanted revenge on. He fucking lost,
- 32:54Speaker 1: And I said, okay, when it comes time for the Owen.
- 32:59Speaker 1: The finals of Owen, it's gonna be Will Ospray and
- 33:02Speaker 1: John Moxley. And so when Osbury finally gets that win,
- 33:07Speaker 1: the very next match we see him in is going
- 33:10Speaker 1: to be challenging for the World Championship. So now they're
- 33:13Speaker 1: doing this almost like a little side quest now where
- 33:17Speaker 1: he's joining in effect the Death Riders, but obviously he's
- 33:20Speaker 1: not joining as a full fledged member. But that's basically
- 33:23Speaker 1: the story they're telling here. And I'm watching this and
- 33:25Speaker 1: I'm like, is it like a Stockholm syndrome type thing
- 33:28Speaker 1: where it's like he's he's bonding with his captors. He
- 33:32Speaker 1: was literally kidnapped on the show last week, like they
- 33:35Speaker 1: grabbed him and they took him away. He was kidnapped.
- 33:40Speaker 1: And now he's agreeing to their terms and he's gonna
- 33:43Speaker 1: work with them. He's gonna show up for training sessions.
- 33:46Speaker 1: And it's a little strange, but I kind of I'm intrigued,
- 33:53Speaker 1: I'll say that because they're telling an actual story here.
- 33:56Speaker 1: They're trying to tell an actual story here to build
- 33:59Speaker 1: up Ospray that much more. Going into all in my
- 34:03Speaker 1: whole theory about this still stands. I still think at
- 34:08Speaker 1: the end of all of this, like the ultimate final
- 34:10Speaker 1: test that this man will pass is that he will
- 34:13Speaker 1: beat John Moxley. John Moxley. It's like John Moxley has
- 34:16Speaker 1: found a bird and the bird's wing is broken, and
- 34:21Speaker 1: so now he has to nurse this bird back to health.
- 34:24Speaker 1: And then once the bird is all nursed back to
- 34:27Speaker 1: health one hundred percent, the bird can fly once again. Right.
- 34:31Speaker 1: Will Osprey is the wounded animal that John Moxley is
- 34:35Speaker 1: going to now try to heal. Now why Moxley cares?
- 34:39Speaker 1: What is his motivations for doing so? He hasn't said,
- 34:44Speaker 1: But I don't hate what they're doing here. I think
- 34:47Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting. I still stand by what I
- 34:50Speaker 1: said though. I still think at the end of all this,
- 34:52Speaker 1: Osprey is going to beat him, and I think when
- 34:55Speaker 1: he does, Moxley is going to look him in the
- 34:57Speaker 1: eye and it's going to be a matter of respect.
- 34:58Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, my job here is done. My job
- 35:04Speaker 1: here was to bring out the best version of Will Ospray.
- 35:08Speaker 1: I've done my job. Now you can go on and
- 35:10Speaker 1: win the world title. And that's where I think. Ultimately
- 35:13Speaker 1: the story is going actual death writer stuff that isn't
- 35:19Speaker 1: death on television. They're telling an actual story here, which
- 35:24Speaker 1: is somebody that you know, a lot of people complain
- 35:26Speaker 1: about that there's not enough story on these shows, which
- 35:29Speaker 1: is not entirely true. Sometimes they sell there's no story,
- 35:32Speaker 1: and I mean they tell their own kind of version
- 35:35Speaker 1: of stories. You can't say there's no stories on the show.
- 35:39Speaker 1: You could say that there's no great stories on the show.
- 35:41Speaker 1: I mean, that's fine if that's how you feel. But
- 35:44Speaker 1: in this case, at least, they're trying to tell some
- 35:47Speaker 1: sort of story between these two. You know, it's not
- 35:50Speaker 1: just putting the rematch together for the sake of doing
- 35:53Speaker 1: the rematch. We'll see where it goes. I don't know
- 35:56Speaker 1: if they're going to do something a double or nothing.
- 35:59Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going to do something again
- 36:01Speaker 1: wait until the Owen kicks in and do it there.
- 36:05Speaker 1: It almost feels like double or nothing would be too
- 36:07Speaker 1: soon for them to kind of be on opposing sides again.
- 36:11Speaker 1: We'll see where the story goes. It's intriguing at least.
- 36:15Speaker 1: Can't say that all of it makes entirely too much sense,
- 36:20Speaker 1: but by the end of it, maybe it will. I
- 36:23Speaker 1: want to see where it goes. This week's episode is
- 36:26Speaker 1: sponsored by wis you Know We hear a lot about
- 36:29Speaker 1: AI these days. It's the hot topic, and I to
- 36:32Speaker 1: most of it out honestly, But I gotta tell you,
- 36:34Speaker 1: Wis has found a very cool way to put AI
- 36:37Speaker 1: to good use for you and your business with its
- 36:39Speaker 1: new Harmony editor. It's AI website builder lets you build
- 36:42Speaker 1: a business ready website while still giving you full control
- 36:46Speaker 1: to edit anything you want to by hand, so it's
- 36:49Speaker 1: not a case of outsourcing everything to AI. You're working
- 36:52Speaker 1: alongside it and getting the best of both worlds. How
- 36:55Speaker 1: cool is it that you can create an entire website
- 36:58Speaker 1: just by typing in a single prompt and describing your idea.
- 37:02Speaker 1: You can click on any part of your site and
- 37:04Speaker 1: ask Aria, your AI agent, to edit for you or
- 37:07Speaker 1: ask questions that you need answers to. She's there to
- 37:10Speaker 1: help you create faster and more efficiently. Wis power is

- 37:31Speaker 1: Adam Copeland Christian cage rare television match. They were in
- 37:36Speaker 1: action against Rpgvice, Trent Burretta and Rocky Romero FTR and
- 37:42Speaker 1: Stokely Halfaway. They came out before the match to observe
- 37:46Speaker 1: the Heels went after Christian's bad forearm. But I have
- 37:50Speaker 1: no idea why Rpgvice needed this much offense. I mean
- 37:55Speaker 1: when they were get the heat on Christian, I mean
- 37:56Speaker 1: it was just going on and on and on, and
- 37:59Speaker 1: I'm like, this is going on for way too long here.
- 38:02Speaker 1: You're giving these guys a little too much offense, I think.
- 38:06Speaker 1: So in the middle of this match, the Conglomeration suddenly
- 38:09Speaker 1: appeared in the front row. We saw Orange Cassidy, and
- 38:12Speaker 1: we saw Roderick Strong, and we saw Kyle o'reiley And
- 38:17Speaker 1: this was all unbeknownst to Stokely Hathaway. So Stokely sees
- 38:21Speaker 1: them and he takes a swing. He missed Cassidy, who
- 38:26Speaker 1: threw popcorn at him. The Conglomerration FTR they brought through
- 38:30Speaker 1: the crowd and out of the arena, So they're out
- 38:32Speaker 1: of the picture now. So the Heels worked over Christian
- 38:35Speaker 1: for again way too long, until Copeland got the hot tag.
- 38:39Speaker 1: He dropped Bretta with an impaler for a near fall
- 38:42Speaker 1: Cage and Romero. They spilled out of the ring. Inside
- 38:45Speaker 1: the ring, Bretta leapfrogged a spear attempt by Copeland, tried
- 38:50Speaker 1: to pin him with his foot on the ropes. The
- 38:51Speaker 1: referee actually caught him. For a change. Trent was arguing
- 38:55Speaker 1: with Rick Knox. He turned around into a spear and
- 38:59Speaker 1: Cope and Christian and they pick up the win. So
- 39:04Speaker 1: after the match, Christian brought a chair into the ring
- 39:07Speaker 1: and he stomps on it to break off the bottom
- 39:09Speaker 1: bar and he gives it to Copeland with the idea
- 39:12Speaker 1: that he wants him to use it on Trends in
- 39:14Speaker 1: a cross face, and so he does. He puts Trent
- 39:16Speaker 1: in a cross face with the bar across his mouth,
- 39:19Speaker 1: and Christian on the microphone is telling you say the words,
- 39:22Speaker 1: say the words, and Beretta starts to scream out loud.
- 39:26Speaker 1: I quit, I quit, A little hint of what's to
- 39:30Speaker 1: come at double or nothing. In the I Quit match
- 39:32Speaker 1: between Cope and Christian and FTR. That was really the
- 39:36Speaker 1: whole point of the match. They really just wanted that
- 39:39Speaker 1: one moment at the end, and Copeland at that point
- 39:43Speaker 1: he's outside the ring now, he's staring at the tag
- 39:45Speaker 1: team belts which they had left behind. They're laying on
- 39:47Speaker 1: the announced desk, and he put a popcorn bucket over
- 39:52Speaker 1: his head. He wore it like a crown. For some reason.
- 39:57Speaker 1: He was out there having fun old bucket head over here.
- 40:01Speaker 1: I mean, look, the match was, it was solid, It
- 40:03Speaker 1: was fine. Nothing terribly exciting here. Again, I think RPG
- 40:09Speaker 1: Wece went on offense for a little too long in
- 40:12Speaker 1: this match, but it was okay. Not lighting my world
- 40:17Speaker 1: on fire. I can't lie. After the break, Renee was
- 40:23Speaker 1: in the back to interview Chris Jericho. I will point
- 40:26Speaker 1: out to you that Renee did all of the backstage
- 40:29Speaker 1: interviews throughout the entire show, from the opening one earlier
- 40:33Speaker 1: in the night. She was losing her voice. I don't
- 40:39Speaker 1: know why they could not substitute somebody else in there
- 40:42Speaker 1: for at least some of these segments. This poor woman
- 40:45Speaker 1: did all of the backstage segments on this show as
- 40:49Speaker 1: she was losing her voice, except in this one segment
- 40:53Speaker 1: here because she was in the back with Chris Jericho,
- 40:57Speaker 1: who was not actually there tonight. In fair facts, He's
- 41:00Speaker 1: actually here in New York City, he's filming something television related,
- 41:04Speaker 1: some TV show. I don't know what it is, but
- 41:07Speaker 1: he was not a dynamite. But it was very It
- 41:10Speaker 1: was very funny because magically, in this one segment, which
- 41:14Speaker 1: totally didn't get recorded last week, Rene's voice was okay,
- 41:19Speaker 1: she sounded normal, she sounded human here in this segment,
- 41:22Speaker 1: but then when they went back to her in like
- 41:24Speaker 1: the later segment, she lost her voice again. So but
- 41:27Speaker 1: here she had her voice, and she was asking Jericho
- 41:31Speaker 1: if Ricochet's Rico Salt his version of the Lion Salt,
- 41:36Speaker 1: is in fact an improved version of Jericho's Lion Salt.
- 41:40Speaker 1: So Jericho started to speak Ricochet in the Gates of Agony.
- 41:43Speaker 1: They showed up and they attacked Jericho. So Ricochet asked Jericho,
- 41:52Speaker 1: is this what you want? Is this what you want?
- 41:55Speaker 1: Jericho told him to eat shit and then called him bald,
- 42:00Speaker 1: and so Ricochet tore Jericho's shirt Gates of Agony. They
- 42:03Speaker 1: ran Jericho into a nearby equipment case. Ricochet asked Jericho
- 42:07Speaker 1: if he thought he was being funny, and then he
- 42:09Speaker 1: teased doing a Rico Salt onto Jericho. He actually leapt over.
- 42:15Speaker 1: Jericho landed on his feet and then told him you're
- 42:18Speaker 1: not even worth it, and he walked away, and the
- 42:21Speaker 1: parting shot was Jericho laying on the ground. Yes, Jericho
- 42:27Speaker 1: was not there tonight, so they at least found a
- 42:29Speaker 1: way to get him on the show. I think Jericho's
- 42:31Speaker 1: new gimmick is that basically like he kind of he's
- 42:35Speaker 1: a smart guy, and I think if he wants to
- 42:39Speaker 1: curry favor with the audience, what better way to do
- 42:43Speaker 1: that than by having him go out there and lose
- 42:46Speaker 1: all of his first matches and get his ass kicked
- 42:50Speaker 1: every week and build up sympathy for people to want
- 42:54Speaker 1: to see Jericho go out there and win. And it
- 42:57Speaker 1: seems like also they're building an entire storyline around on
- 43:00Speaker 1: the Lion Salt, which is a move that he's used
- 43:03Speaker 1: in every single match. It's a throwaway move, it's a
- 43:06Speaker 1: setup move. He's used it in every match going back
- 43:08Speaker 1: thirty years, and they seem to be building to this
- 43:11Speaker 1: big moment where when he hits the Lion Sault again,
- 43:14Speaker 1: people are supposed to go crazy for it. We'll see,
- 43:18Speaker 1: we'll see if it works. But yeah, watch Jericho consistently
- 43:22Speaker 1: lose to the point where the fans want to see
- 43:24Speaker 1: him win. Smart, very smart. Megan Bain and Lean Across
- 43:31Speaker 1: defended the women's tag team titles against Hikarushida and Chris Statlander.
- 43:37Speaker 1: This is clearly building to Shida turning on Statlander, or
- 43:42Speaker 1: at least you know her not realizing what Shita is
- 43:45Speaker 1: up to. They said, Mina Sheirakawa is trying to tell
- 43:47Speaker 1: Chris Statlander you can't trust her, you can't trust her.
- 43:51Speaker 1: I could see them roping Willow Nightingale into this somehow
- 43:54Speaker 1: and working the TVs title into this. So the first
- 43:57Speaker 1: half of this match was not good. The first half
- 44:00Speaker 1: of this was very rough. At one point, Megan Bain
- 44:03Speaker 1: fell down. I didn't see why. She just I think
- 44:07Speaker 1: lost her balance. I think she tried to pick one
- 44:10Speaker 1: of them up and she just fell down. And that
- 44:13Speaker 1: was sort of appropriate considering how the first half of
- 44:16Speaker 1: this match just they just did not seem to be
- 44:18Speaker 1: on the same page. They weren't even working off the
- 44:21Speaker 1: same book. It's very clunky, It was very rough. The
- 44:26Speaker 1: second half was better than the first, at least, I
- 44:28Speaker 1: don't know what happened here. At the beginning of the match.
- 44:31Speaker 1: Sheida wanted to use her kendo stick though, and Statlander
- 44:34Speaker 1: grabbed it and said no, no, she wouldn't let her
- 44:36Speaker 1: use it, so Sheida. So now they're in the ring together.
- 44:40Speaker 1: She'da kicks her in the gut and she supplexes her
- 44:45Speaker 1: into the corner. It looks like she's turning on stat
- 44:47Speaker 1: and the crowd started to react as if, holy shit,
- 44:50Speaker 1: she's turning on this woman right now. She supplexes her
- 44:53Speaker 1: into the corner and Bain had been laid out, I
- 44:58Speaker 1: think across the middle rope in the corner. She was
- 45:00Speaker 1: in the middle rope, and so she was really just
- 45:02Speaker 1: supplexing Statlander into Megan Baine. She was using her partner
- 45:06Speaker 1: as a weapon. And Statlander gets up and she gets
- 45:09Speaker 1: up at her face like what the fuck, and She'd
- 45:11Speaker 1: is like no, no, no, go after her stay on
- 45:13Speaker 1: top of her. So it looked like this was a turn.
- 45:16Speaker 1: This was not a turn, not yet anyway. Late in
- 45:19Speaker 1: the match, Statlander stacked both women up, went up top,
- 45:22Speaker 1: hit a four point fifty splash onto the pile for
- 45:25Speaker 1: a two count. Statlander went for the Saturday Night Fever. Shida, though,
- 45:28Speaker 1: made a blind tag, hitting a meteora off the top
- 45:31Speaker 1: and then a Falcon arrow for a two count. Statlander
- 45:34Speaker 1: came in, she got wiped out with a flying boot.
- 45:37Speaker 1: Bain and Cross then demolished Sheita. I mean they slammed
- 45:41Speaker 1: her down hard with their double choke slamb and they
- 45:45Speaker 1: pinned her to retain the titles. I've certainly seen better
- 45:49Speaker 1: from Megan Bain A Lena Cross. This This was not
- 45:53Speaker 1: the best outing for any of these four women. I
- 45:56Speaker 1: will just say that by the end of it. It
- 45:58Speaker 1: was at least a decent match by the end, but
- 46:01Speaker 1: this was not great. We had Ruche against let me
- 46:07Speaker 1: see here, what was this guy's name? Stephen Fuerte. Want
- 46:12Speaker 1: to make sure I get it right. Stephen Fuerte was
- 46:16Speaker 1: his opponent here at the show. Poor Stephen Ferte. He
- 46:18Speaker 1: wanted a handshake from Ruche. I don't know why you
- 46:21Speaker 1: would expect him to shake your hand. He didn't and
- 46:25Speaker 1: instead Ruche She's just wrecked him with a right hand
- 46:29Speaker 1: and they ended up on the floor. Ruche was just
- 46:32Speaker 1: stomping the fuck out of this guy, just kicking the
- 46:34Speaker 1: shit out of him, and then got him back in
- 46:36Speaker 1: the ring and he gave him the bulls horns and
- 46:40Speaker 1: that was it. It was short work for Ruche, who
- 46:43Speaker 1: then got on the mic and he was saying some
- 46:46Speaker 1: stuff in Spanish and then he ended with when you
- 46:50Speaker 1: messed with the bull, you get the horns. So look,
- 46:54Speaker 1: I could get behind more ruche television time here on
- 46:58Speaker 1: this show. That's great. I think that Rush would make
- 47:01Speaker 1: a great challenger in the not too distant future for
- 47:04Speaker 1: one Kevin Knight for the TNT title. That's what I think.
- 47:10Speaker 1: But he is someone who I would like to see
- 47:12Speaker 1: more of on this show. Hopefully we get to see
- 47:15Speaker 1: more of him on this show, like last week. For example,
- 47:18Speaker 1: last week we had Leo Rush, right, Leo Rush had
- 47:21Speaker 1: that match with Brody King. Some people may not be
- 47:24Speaker 1: a fan of this whole gimmick that Leo Rush is doing.
- 47:27Speaker 1: I like it because it's at least something different. He's
- 47:30Speaker 1: clearly committed to it. It's kind of creepy, and I
- 47:33Speaker 1: just wish they would have taken more effort and care
- 47:37Speaker 1: to try to explain to us exactly why he has
- 47:40Speaker 1: descended into madness. If you want to do some sort
- 47:43Speaker 1: of vignette, do a vignette. I'm not saying you have
- 47:46Speaker 1: to just do a sit down, serious interview with the guy.
- 47:49Speaker 1: And they didn't do that. He literally just showed up
- 47:51Speaker 1: on Dynamite last week, which he never shows up on,
- 47:55Speaker 1: and he wrestled Brodie King and he lost, and then
- 47:57Speaker 1: he was never I mean, he wasn't on the show tonight.
- 47:59Speaker 1: He probably won't be on the show next week, so
- 48:01Speaker 1: it was basically like a one off and again, you're
- 48:04Speaker 1: not gonna get over that way. So I don't know
- 48:06Speaker 1: if Tony Kind is serious about pushing him with that
- 48:09Speaker 1: gimmick or not. Rush is somebody who we should be
- 48:12Speaker 1: seeing more on Dynamite. We should see him more on
- 48:14Speaker 1: the A Show because he's really good. I hope we do,
- 48:18Speaker 1: but I wonder if he'll fall into the same category
- 48:21Speaker 1: as Leo Rush, where it's like you'll see him every
- 48:24Speaker 1: now and then and then you won't, and it's like,
- 48:27Speaker 1: how do you get over that way? You don't, you know,
- 48:30Speaker 1: you really don't. But anyway, so this was just a
- 48:34Speaker 1: short squash as if again they were building him up
- 48:38Speaker 1: for something. I think that something might be the TNT
- 48:41Speaker 1: Championship at some point, or at least a shot at
- 48:44Speaker 1: the TNT title. I don't know if he'll win it,
- 48:46Speaker 1: but that's what I would do with him. Renee again,
- 48:52Speaker 1: poor Renee. Let this woman rest. She was in the
- 48:59Speaker 1: back with the Ops. Samoa, Joe is back, Katsiori Shabata
- 49:03Speaker 1: is back from Japan. Hook is there, and the brand
- 49:06Speaker 1: new member, the newest edition, the newest recruit for the Ops.
- 49:10Speaker 1: If you saw Collision last week, Anthony Bowens, he's in there.
- 49:15Speaker 1: He's standing there with the puffer coat on. Now he
- 49:18Speaker 1: knows how to dress like the rest of the Ops now.
- 49:21Speaker 1: And she asked Joe what's the game plan moving forward?
- 49:24Speaker 1: And Joe said, to reassert our dominance. He put over
- 49:28Speaker 1: Bowens as someone who's always been overlooked, and now you'll
- 49:30Speaker 1: get to see what he's truly capable of. And Hook, meanwhile,
- 49:34Speaker 1: is going to become the TNT champion because he has
- 49:37Speaker 1: a TNT title match this weekend on Collision with Kevin Knight.
- 49:43Speaker 1: And then he turned his attention to will Osprey and
- 49:47Speaker 1: he hopes it's not a case of Stockholm syndrome with
- 49:52Speaker 1: him and the Death Riders. He said, look, we got
- 49:54Speaker 1: your back when you if you need it, you got
- 49:57Speaker 1: a choice to make. Will Osprey is in a great
- 50:01Speaker 1: demand here. The Death Riders have recruited him. Now the
- 50:05Speaker 1: Ops is putting an invitation out there so soon the
- 50:08Speaker 1: the Hurt Syndicate is going to want to recruit will Osprey.
- 50:13Speaker 1: What a trio that would be. Uh, Bobby Lashley's Shelton
- 50:15Speaker 1: Benjamin and will Osprey be like Owen in the Nation.
- 50:21Speaker 1: I think it could work. Anthony Bowen's joining the Ops
- 50:28Speaker 1: in the Grand Scheme. I don't know that him joining
- 50:31Speaker 1: the Ops is going to necessarily be the thing that
- 50:34Speaker 1: vaults him to the next level in AW. I'm happy
- 50:36Speaker 1: that they're actually doing something with the guys. It's impossible
- 50:41Speaker 1: impossible for me to believe that him or Max Caster
- 50:46Speaker 1: were thrilled about AW not really getting behind them when
- 50:52Speaker 1: they initially split them, because they didn't really in the end,
- 50:57Speaker 1: they didn't really do much with them as singles, and
- 50:59Speaker 1: I'm sure they were hopeful and maybe they had their
- 51:01Speaker 1: own ideas it didn't work out. I don't know if
- 51:04Speaker 1: they're going to do anything with Max Cast. But Anthony Bowens,
- 51:07Speaker 1: he's a talented guy. If adding him to a group
- 51:11Speaker 1: like this is going to help, you know, kind of
- 51:13Speaker 1: elevate his profile by getting him on television more great,
- 51:17Speaker 1: I think that's a good thing. This is the sort
- 51:19Speaker 1: of thing that they should be doing. They should be
- 51:21Speaker 1: trying to elevate younger stars who are currently not being
- 51:25Speaker 1: used or not being used to their full potential right,
- 51:29Speaker 1: find something for them to do on the show and
- 51:31Speaker 1: get behind them. And not everybody is going to become
- 51:34Speaker 1: a Kyle Fletcher. Not everybody's going to make it to
- 51:36Speaker 1: that level. But whether again, whether it's an Anthony Bowens
- 51:41Speaker 1: or whether it's a Kevin Knight or somebody else, this
- 51:45Speaker 1: is the sort of thing that they need to do.
- 51:47Speaker 1: You know, pick certain people that you would like to
- 51:50Speaker 1: shine a spotlight on and just invest in them and
- 51:54Speaker 1: give them the opportunity to go out there and show
- 51:57Speaker 1: what they can do. And if they sin, they sink,
- 51:59Speaker 1: the swim they swim, and you've made a new star.
- 52:03Speaker 1: But I think someone like Bowen's and even Castor, they
- 52:06Speaker 1: didn't get a fair shake the first time. Actually Castor
- 52:10Speaker 1: was getting over with that dumb with that dumb open
- 52:13Speaker 1: challenge gimmick. But again it didn't go anywhere. Why would
- 52:18Speaker 1: you squander that, you know, do something meaningful with these people.
- 52:27Speaker 1: Stokely Hathaway was backstage and he was with FTR and
- 52:31Speaker 1: he said that he just left Tony Kahn's office and
- 52:33Speaker 1: he has a proposition for Orange Cassidy. Next week on Dynamite,
- 52:38Speaker 1: it'll be Orange Cassidy against Dax Harwood, and if Cassidy wins,
- 52:44Speaker 1: he can challenge for the tag team titles. Pick a partner,
- 52:47Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who, probably Roddy, and you can go
- 52:51Speaker 1: after the tag team belts. But if Dax wins, then
- 52:55Speaker 1: FTR can challenge for the Trios titles, which is just
- 52:58Speaker 1: what we need, by the way, more champions that have
- 53:01Speaker 1: one set of titles now challenging for another set of titles.
- 53:05Speaker 1: The Trios titles, by the way, the most meaningless, useless
- 53:10Speaker 1: pieces of ten in the entire company. But if Dax wins,
- 53:15Speaker 1: they will partner up with Tamaso Champa and they will
- 53:19Speaker 1: go after the Conglomeration and their Trios titles. Champa walks
- 53:23Speaker 1: in and he says, if for the last or the
- 53:26Speaker 1: last time he teamed with FTR, he put Mark Brisco
- 53:28Speaker 1: on the shelf indefinitely, and next time they are going
- 53:31Speaker 1: to win the Trios titles. This all just feels very
- 53:35Speaker 1: forced to me, and anything involving the Trios titles, it's
- 53:39Speaker 1: almost impossible for me to give a shit because the
- 53:42Speaker 1: trio's titles don't mean anything. The trios titles are completely useless.
- 53:47Speaker 1: They really are, so I don't care. But the main
- 53:51Speaker 1: event had Darby Allen defending the AW World Championship against
- 53:55Speaker 1: Brody King. So Darby hit Brody with a shotgun drop
- 53:58Speaker 1: kick right at the start here, Darby hit an early
- 54:02Speaker 1: suicide dive, so he comes flying out of the ring.
- 54:06Speaker 1: He literally like he bounces into Brody. Brody doesn't even move.
- 54:13Speaker 1: Darby bounces off of him like a rubber ball and
- 54:16Speaker 1: just falls to the ground. And then Brody just looks
- 54:19Speaker 1: into the camera and he barks. It was like something
- 54:23Speaker 1: out of a cartoon. Literally like he ran into a
- 54:26Speaker 1: wall and just went splat. So they showed Kevin Knight
- 54:30Speaker 1: in the crowd with his TNT title over his shoulder,
- 54:34Speaker 1: standing there and watching the match. Then they cut to
- 54:37Speaker 1: the back they showed MJF was watching the match very
- 54:39Speaker 1: intently on TV. So late in the match, Darby avoided
- 54:44Speaker 1: a cannon ball and Brody ended up crashing through the
- 54:47Speaker 1: barricade outside. They ended up on top of the announced
- 54:50Speaker 1: desk and Darby was able to kind of wiggle his
- 54:54Speaker 1: way out of something that King was attempting. He gave
- 54:57Speaker 1: Brody a Code red on top of the announced desk,
- 55:00Speaker 1: and Brody's a big guy, and the table did not break,
- 55:06Speaker 1: so Brody regained the advantage and he was just destroying
- 55:10Speaker 1: this little fucker. But he kept kicking out now, which
- 55:15Speaker 1: made Brody very mad, so he launches Darby over the
- 55:18Speaker 1: top and he actually hit the camera man on the
- 55:20Speaker 1: way down. So now Brody is outside and he's dragging Darby,
- 55:27Speaker 1: and Darby is clawing it like the edge of the padding,
- 55:30Speaker 1: the protective padding outside, and as he's being dragged, he's
- 55:33Speaker 1: pulling the padding out to expose the concrete underneath. So
- 55:38Speaker 1: he gets Darby up against the barricade and he go
- 55:41Speaker 1: I mean, he backs up as far as he can go,
- 55:44Speaker 1: and he comes charging in. He gets a running head
- 55:47Speaker 1: start and he goes for a cannon ball. Darby moves
- 55:50Speaker 1: out of the way, and Brody crashes through the barricade
- 55:53Speaker 1: and into the crop. So Darby goes ahead. He exposes
- 55:58Speaker 1: more of the concrete out there on the floor and
- 56:01Speaker 1: he ends up on the apron. Brody is up there
- 56:06Speaker 1: with him. Darby slides out underneath him and he manages
- 56:11Speaker 1: to I think it was a sunset bomb, but he
- 56:14Speaker 1: power bombs Brody onto the exposed concrete outside. Then Darby
- 56:18Speaker 1: races up to the top rope and all the way
- 56:21Speaker 1: to the floor. On the exposed concrete, he delivers a
- 56:24Speaker 1: coffin drop to Brody King. So King ended up barely
- 56:30Speaker 1: breaking the count back into the ring like nine point nine,
- 56:34Speaker 1: and he slides into the ring. He's laying on his stomach.
- 56:38Speaker 1: Darby comes off the top with a coffin drop to
- 56:40Speaker 1: the back. Brody rolls over. At that point, Darby goes
- 56:44Speaker 1: back up, hits a proper coffin drop, covers him and
- 56:48Speaker 1: gets the pin to retain the AW World title. When
- 56:51Speaker 1: the match is over, the announcers they mentioned that Kevin
- 56:53Speaker 1: Knight he better not look past hook on Collision this
- 56:56Speaker 1: weekend because they're gonna meet for the TNT Championship. And
- 57:00Speaker 1: also the match has been made official on Dynamite. Next
- 57:03Speaker 1: week it will be Kevin Knight one on one with
- 57:05Speaker 1: Darby Allen for the AW World Championship. King got up
- 57:09Speaker 1: and Brody shook hands with Darby. Darby went to the ropes.
- 57:13Speaker 1: He looked up at Kevin Knight in the crowd kind
- 57:16Speaker 1: of looking in his direction. Challengers challengers everywhere, and that
- 57:22Speaker 1: is how Dynamite went off the air tonight. This was
- 57:26Speaker 1: a good main event. You know what you're gonna get
- 57:28Speaker 1: in a Brody King and Darby Allen match. Darby is
- 57:31Speaker 1: gonna get destroyed for most of it, so it was
- 57:35Speaker 1: exactly what I expected it to be. They had a
- 57:37Speaker 1: good match. I gotta go though, with Kevin Knight and MJF.
- 57:41Speaker 1: That was my favorite match of the show that they
- 57:43Speaker 1: had a very strong opening match. Again, I see where
- 57:48Speaker 1: they're going with this. As far as the Darby stuff.
- 57:53Speaker 1: Losing the title back to MJF, I'm almost positive it'll
- 57:57Speaker 1: happen on the twenty fourth. I like how they's been
- 58:00Speaker 1: able to find a way to work Kevin Knight into
- 58:02Speaker 1: this whole thing. We know he's going to lose next week.
- 58:04Speaker 1: He's not gonna win the World Championship. Not advocating for that,
- 58:08Speaker 1: but we should get a very good match out of it.
- 58:11Speaker 1: I just like the fact that he's hanging with all
- 58:14Speaker 1: of these people because by doing that, the longer that
- 58:17Speaker 1: goes on for or the more you know, kind of
- 58:20Speaker 1: prominent names he gets to hang around and work with
- 58:23Speaker 1: on this show, it just sends a message to people
- 58:26Speaker 1: like this is how you should view somebody like him.
- 58:29Speaker 1: So I like that he's not gonna win every single
- 58:31Speaker 1: match necessarily, but I like how they've they've managed to
- 58:35Speaker 1: kind of rope him into this, the Osprey and Moxley stuff.
- 58:39Speaker 1: I'm intrigued. I want to see where the story goes.
- 58:42Speaker 1: I again, I think I think it's leading to a
- 58:45Speaker 1: place that ultimately will send Moxlay to the main event
- 58:47Speaker 1: at Wembley Stadium. To get there, we have to bridge
- 58:51Speaker 1: that gap to get there. This is the story that
- 58:54Speaker 1: they are telling with him. You know, he had that
- 58:56Speaker 1: big match with Moxley. He was out for blood, he
- 58:58Speaker 1: was out for revenge and fucking lost right, and his
- 59:01Speaker 1: neck has betrayed him half the time. He can't even
- 59:04Speaker 1: get cleared to get in the ring. So he is
- 59:08Speaker 1: giving himself up to John Moxley and the Death Riders
- 59:11Speaker 1: to try to find the best version of himself. I'm
- 59:14Speaker 1: sure somebody watching this right now will have some sort
- 59:16Speaker 1: of movie analogy, some movie I've not seen that will will.
- 59:20Speaker 1: You know, you'll find some sort of comparison for this.
- 59:23Speaker 1: I just I mentioned the whole Stockholm syndrome thing even
- 59:26Speaker 1: before Joe mentioned it, because that's kind of how it
- 59:28Speaker 1: comes off. You know, He's like bonding with his captors,
- 59:33Speaker 1: and so this is going to be the story until
- 59:35Speaker 1: we get to the Owen final. I do predict that
- 59:38Speaker 1: is my prediction. The rest of the show was it
- 59:41Speaker 1: was fine. I mean, it was solid. I wouldn't say
- 59:43Speaker 1: it was anything great, but it was fine. It was
- 59:47Speaker 1: completely inoffensive. Next week, though, we're getting three hours because
- 59:54Speaker 1: we have two hours of Dynamites back to back with
- 59:57Speaker 1: an hour of Collision kill me now here. I am
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: celebrating the death of three hour smackdowns sometime in the
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: next few weeks. We still don't have a date on that,
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: but it sounds like the era of three hour smackdowns,
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: at least until next year, is coming to an end.
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: And now I've got to deal with three hours of
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: Dynamite on Wednesday. It's terrible, terrible. Should not have three
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: hours of wrestling, say it all the time. But this
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: sports schedule, the NCAA stuff or whatever it is, it's
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: gonna wreak havoc. I think this is gonna happen multiple
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: times in the month of May with these three hour blocks.
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: Oh joy, let's get to your super chats here. Dry Chicken,
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: I see you, says when it comes to wrestling, MJF.
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: You have to fight fire with fire. That's what the
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: baby Faces are doing. They're they're hitting him in the dick.
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: They're kicking him in the dick. You know, they're giving
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: it right back to him. Yeah, Mad Max, he was
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: at the show. It came across great on TV. Very hot. Crowd,
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: especially for that opening match, kind of died in the
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: middle for some of the stuff, but some of the
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: stuff in the middle died, so it only makes sense.
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: But crowd was very loud. That's what happened to me.
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: You have at least five thousand people in the building
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: instead of two thousand, Although to be fair, there have
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: been some aw crowds that have been very small but
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: very loud. It just depends on the city therein. But
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: there is a difference between having a crowd of twenty
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: five hundred people and having a crowd of fifty two hundred,
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: you know, which is what they had tonight. Cult meet
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: up we got Edging Christian versus RPG. Weis before GTA six. Yeah.
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: Do you still think it's coming out in November? Because
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: I don't. I'm expecting another delay. Dry Chickens says Oscar
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: versus EO Sky at Backlash will be the most boring, mundane,
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: non strong style match on that show. Will they prove
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: him wrong? I love Oscar and EO, but if only
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: chef Shawn Michaels was in charge of the main roster,
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: he would add some more drama and some suspense. Well, look,
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: Oscar and Eosky, regardless of what's going on with the story,
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: I think they could be counted on to at least
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: have a very good match. At least they guaranteed very
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: good match if they have time. Okay, none of this
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: seven minute, six minute bullshit. They get time, then they
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: will have a very good match. Give me backshot, Sola monster,
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: Would you let me give you a hug if I
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: see you in public or if you see me in public? No, no,
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: dry chick. And it's time for Rush to collect aw
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: gold TNT title, National title, International title, Continental title, World title.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: I don't think we have enough titles, guys, I think
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: we may need more titles. Yeah, I mean my vote
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: would go with the TNT title. That gets my vote.
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: Reload the page here, refresh see who else we got.
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: We got a couple more Chicago for MBK. Thank you
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: for the two bucks. Dev To dust thoughts on Joe
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: Buck's commentary in baseball. I mean, you know, he's fine.
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: He's fine, not like my all time favorite. Ready, He's
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: no Gary Cohen, but he's fine. Big Hoss says by
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: Will Cruz stock Solo. He's seen his styles approved. Will Cruz.
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: Is he that new guy from NXT? I haven't seen
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: too much of him yet. I think they debuted like
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: eleven fucking people in one night in NXT. It's hard
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: to keep track of all these new faces that they
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: kind of threw out there in one night. They basically
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: hit the reset button, which they kind of have to
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: because there's a lot of call ups. I get it.
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: They're losing Ricky Saints and Ethan Page and Blake Monroe
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: and Fatal Attraction and who else did they as a
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: soul Ruca, So they have to hit the reset butt.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: That's why Evil is now in NXT, although not by
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: that name. Evil has arrived. We have EJ. Slimp buy
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: or Sell, Nicky Bella versus Aja Kang or J C.
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: Jane versus Manami Toyota. See. I know that all you
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: Sikko's out there, you would love to see Aja Kang
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: against Nicky Bella and Nicky Bella would not survive that match. However,
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: J C. Jane against Manami Toyota is going to get
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: my vote. I actually think that that would be a
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: very good match. Don Stoney first time in the solo
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: Monster live chat and joining the show. Thank you, Don Stony,
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: I'm glad you are enjoying yourself, and Tuxedo t Servo says,
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: at least we still have this, Yes, the Kyrie super Chatz.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: It's actually very sad now. It makes me very sad.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: The only time you're ever going to hear that again
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: is on the sound off. This is it. It's the
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: only place you can get it now. Oh, very sad.
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: But we are at five hundred and eighteen likes and
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: the goal tonight per the Wheel was four hundred, so
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: we have eclipsed the goal, believe it or not, and
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: we are going to go ahead and be the book
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: doesn't always happen here on Wednesdays. Wednesdays can be very
- 1:06:41Speaker 1: hit or miss. It's not like the WWE streams. But
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: we are going to be the booker. So let's go ahead.
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: Let's do it now, time to be, Let's do it.
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: Oh Antioch, good to see you. My friend. I hope
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: you enjoyed the review. Let's get into this be the
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: booker here. We've had some interesting choices that we have
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: landed on recently. I would love to get a clean
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: sweep tonight. I would love to give bells and not
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: buzzers for all of these matches. So I'm putting some
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: good energy out there here. I have a good feeling
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: about this. M or maybe not. I don't know. Have
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: you seen Okay, I don't want to date myself here,
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: but there was a period I don't know if they
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: still do this or not, but there was a period
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: of time where when there was like a child missing,
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: they would put their face on the side of a
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: milk carton. I don't know if that's still a thing anymore,
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: any kind of milk carton that I've bought. I mean,
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: I have, like, you know, almond milk and stuff like
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: that that I can have. I've never seen anyone's face
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: on the side of it, but I'd have to make
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: an exception for these two men. Where the fuck are
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: the Creed brothers? I mean, where the hell did they
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: disappeared to? I have no idea, but well, they've disappeared
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: here to be the booker. I'm doing a better job
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: of booking them than w W E is. You know
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: what I think kill the Creeds. It's when Brutus Creed
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: hurt Damian Priest and they have not been the same
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: since the Creed brothers against the Smoking Guns. Man. I
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: was looking for a star attraction here for this tag
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: team match. You gave me the Smoking Guns against the Creeds.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: What are you doing? That's a colisseum video match. What
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: are you doing to me? What are we doing here?
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: We have to have better luck with the women's match, please?
- 1:09:10Speaker 1: Can we Okay? We have Alexa Bliss. Now, I don't
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: know if you saw. Alexa Bliss did a cameo video
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: for a fan. It was actually very well done cameo
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: video and she took the time to talk to this person.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: But she mentioned that the Dark Alexa character is officially retired,
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: so you will not see her as Dark Alexa again
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: because she feels like it's connected to Bray and so
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: to preserve that, it's only appropriate that she leave that
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: in the past. So this will be the only time
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: that you see Dark Alexa will be here and be
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: the booker. It's got a drum roll, go in here
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: find out who her opponent is going to be. We
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: give you five hundred likes on a Wednesday, and this
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: is the tag team match you give I didn't give
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: you anything. I mean, this thing has a mind of
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: its own. Uh, Lida Lida him be the booker. I
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: like that match, you know, Lida and Alexa, and that's
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: a quality match right there. All right, So a little
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: bit of a recovery there, but it's all how you
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: finish How are we going to finish this out? Let's
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: find out? Ooh, you saw him At the beginning of
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: the review, I was playing a little clip from the
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: match I did commentary for Andrade against Amazing Red from
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: our first LA show back in January. Man, that match
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: was a banger. I just showed you a little tease
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: at the beginning of the stream. Tonight matches over on

- 1:11:27Speaker 1: for a match? How's that for a match? Androde and Liger?
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: Hell yeah, so we went two for three, all right,
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: it's not a sweep, but we we ended up doing okay.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: We ended up doing okay. You know what, you guys.

- 1:12:13Speaker 1: gonna enjoy it. And we're gonna start with some stipulations.
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: We're gonna add some steps to these matches. That's what
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: we're gonna do. We're gonna have ourselves a first blood match.
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: It's right, a bonus round for all of you, all right,
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: We're gonna have ourselves the first Blood tag team match.
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: First team to bleed loses, that's how it works. Those
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: are the rules. FTR. The reigning aw Tag Team Champions
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: have grace. Oh well, we we already know who's losing
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: this match. Fucking Dax He's like flame. If you breathe
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: on him, he starts bleeding. I don't think this match
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: is going three minutes. First Blood match. Oh wow, FTR
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: against the Shield, Roman Reigns and Seth Rawleigh. See now,
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: tell me those belts right there in that image aren't
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: belts that you would fight for. Those are belts worth
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: fighting for. Those are what tag team title belts are
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: supposed to look like. Now were women's match. We need
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: a stipulation Monsters Ball. Oh I hope we get some
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: tough ladies in this match because those Monsters balls, those
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: Monsters balls, those Monsters Ball matches are pretty brutal. You
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: gotta have the right women in a match like this.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: They have to be able to wrestle in the hardcore style. Well,
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: I don't know about this one. Arianna Grace not somebody
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: who I would think would be, for example, in a
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: Hollywood ending type match like Tony Storm and Mariah Mayhand.
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: I don't see Ariana Grace doing well in a match
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: like that. I already don't like where this is going.
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: I already know the button up pushing. Oh wait a minute,
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: hold on, now, this changes everything. This is the perfect
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: stipulation for this woman, Tecla, which means we need a tiebreaker.
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: We have to add one woman to this match and
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: see if we get a bell or buzzer. Because Techla
- 1:14:56Speaker 1: see Tecla alone. Tecla would love a monster's ball match.
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: Ariana Grace, I mean, she'd be in the corner in
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: the fetal position, crying. We're gonna We're gonna pick one more,
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: one more woman. We're gonna make it a triple threat.
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: See Tecla. Tecla changes everything about that. We're definitely giving
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: this the bell. Holy shit. Now you talk about tough ladies.
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: What did I say before I even took the first spin?
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: I said, man, I hope we land on some really
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: tough women in this match, and I land on May Young.
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: Holy shit, do May Young and Tecla. These women are
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: gonna beat the living shit out of each other. It's
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: gonna be glorious. And Arianna Grace is just gonna sit
- 1:15:44Speaker 1: in the corner and watch and she'll pick the bones
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: after they kill each other. This yeah, somehow that's even better. Yeah,
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: oh my god, Well that saved it. May Young is like, yeah,
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: bring it on, Bring it on, Sonny, bring it on.
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: And the main event is going to be a lions
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: Den match. Yeah, Arianna Grace is gonna win. She's gonna
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: steal the pin. She's gonna win that match. Well, we
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: got the lions then, all right, here we go. Who's
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: walking into the lions Den? This should be good. Jeff
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: Hardy is going to be in the because when I
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: think of the lions Den, when I think of a
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: an mm A style cage match, I think of Jeff Hardy.
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: That's who I think of. This is not gonna end
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: well for poor Jeff Hardy. Over here, Jeff Hardy and
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: bron Breaker in a lions Den match, I'm picking the
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: Steiner to win. That's who I'm picking, poor Jeff. Jeff
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: does have a new submission move, well, it's not going
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: to be enough to save him, unfortunately, poor Jeff Hardy.
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: All Right, we got some more super chats here because
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: we stayed long, so now we got some more messages
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: to read. I love it. I love it. This is
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: the last stream of the week, by the way, so
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: if you got questions and super chats, get him on in.
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: I'm not going to be here Friday night. I'm going
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: to be in Los Angeles. I'm going to be doing
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: commentary play by play live on Triller TV. Hey, Jason Vega, welcome,
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: You're joining it just the right time. I'm telling everybody
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: about the Great House of Glory show on Friday Night,
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: and I'll be in the booth that we got speaking
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: of Amazing Red, Amazing Red and Speedball Mike Bailey for
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: the first time on that show. We're bringing Jonathan Gresham
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: in to challenge Charles Mason for the hog World title.
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: Thunder Roses making her debut. We got Zillafat two defending
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: his titles. Can be hell of a night. So this
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: will be the final stream of the week. We got EJ.
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: Slimp says serious question. When Shingo Takagi retires, will he
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: be remembered more for Dragongate or New Japan? And if
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: became stateside, which company fits him best? I mean, which
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: company f it's him best? Probably? Aw which company will
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: he be remembered more? I mean he spent more time
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: in dragon Gate. Obviously, me personally, I'll remember him more
- 1:19:14Speaker 1: for New Japan because I just wasn't following all of
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: his dragon Gate stuff. If you're a dragon Gate fan,
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: you probably would say dragon Gate because he spent so
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: many years there. Yep, we got thunder Roses coming in.
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: She's gonna be wrestling Britney Brooks. It's gonna be a
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: good one. We got Crazy wrestling Cody and the Judgment
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: Day before many of forty you would have been intrigued.
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: How you are with Osprey joining the Death Riders before
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: all before all in be impartial? What does that mean?
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: What does that even mean? The Judgment Day is not
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: even a ma of infection in this company. I'm not
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: even sure what comparison you're trying to make here. One
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do with the other. It's like
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: people fish around for reasons, like you know, I don't
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: like this, so therefore nobody can like this. Like, come on, dude,
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: they're actually telling a story of some sort with will Osprey.
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: When they don't tell a story, they bitch, they're not
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: telling a story. When they start telling a story that's
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: first playing out. Oh, I can't believe they're doing this.
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: Which is it? It's like a no win It's like
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: a no win situation. Alex says. If Hog ran a
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: show Wembley Stadium on the same weekend as WrestleMania, which
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: show are you covering? You gotta go where the numbers
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: are going to be, the overall interest is going to
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: be in WrestleMania. It would be a terrible move on
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: Aw's part to do that. Don't do that. That would
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: be a terrible move because even though it might blow
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: WrestleMania away in terms of n ring, I have no
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: doubt that it would. That would be a horrible decision
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: on Aw's part. Ryan says thank you Solo, Thank you, Ryan,
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: thank you, and Devin with a nine to ninety nine
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: Thank you Devin. Did Will Smith tank his career with
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: the Oscar slab or can he still be an atalist
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: actor in the future. No, he didn't tank his career.
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: I mean, why just because he can't appear at the
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: Oscars for like ten years or whatever it is, Who
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: gives a shit. It doesn't stop him from going out
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: and making quality films. I don't think he he's necessarily
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: hurting for work. He's not blackballed. Of course, he can
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: still be an a list actor. I just watching the
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: other day on one of the channels that movie Enemy
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: of the State came on with him and Gene Hackman.
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: I always liked that movie, so I was watching that again.
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: Will Smith can make Oscar worthy movies and still not attend. Yeah,
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: I mean that's boss man he can make. He can
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: make a quality film and say I'm not showing up.
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: I don't give a shit. That's a boss move. Solo.
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: Did you see Batman twenty twenty two? I have not. However,
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: I am flying to Los Angeles on Friday and I
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: have it loaded up on my iPad. I actually I
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: have it downloaded offline in the HBO Max app. So
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: I think my plan. I never saw the Mortal Kombat
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: movie from five years ago, like I saw the original
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: from the nineties. I actually stayed away from the Mortal
- 1:23:09Speaker 1: Kombat movie from twenty twenty one because people told me
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: that it was terrible, so I never saw. But now
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: that I'm going to see the new one, I kind
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: of feel like, for continuity, I think I probably have
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: to see the one from five years ago. So I'm
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: gonna watch that on the flight in and then on
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: the flight home, I'm gonna watch The Batman. So Friday,
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: Friday or Saturday, I should finally see The Batman and
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: then I can report back to you. This movie is
- 1:23:34Speaker 1: two hours and fifty six minutes long. I finally found
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: a way to kill time on a six hour flight.
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: I can watch The Batman. This fucking movie is so
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: long it will kill literally half of my flight from
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: LA back to New York. But hey, that's okay with me,
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: don't watch it. Well, even if the Mortal Combat movie
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: is terrible, this one looks really good this new one.
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: So that's okay. If this one is terrible, then the
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: new one will look that much better when I go
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: see it. Yeah, clay Face looks amazing. I almost don't
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: want to watch the proper trailer when it because that
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: was just a teaser trailer and it looks incredible. So
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: when the official trailer drops, I almost like don't want
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: to watch it. I want to try to avoid it
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: because they give so much away in these trailers. Sometimes
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: they give the whole fucking movie away. That teaser trailer
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: was just creepy enough to where I kind of want
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: to keep it creepy where I don't. I don't fully
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: know what's going on in the movie, but I'll probably
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: cave end up watching it anyway. Chicago for MBK, have
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: a great rest of your week. Thank you, brother, you too. Yeah,
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: there's a lot of work to do a lot of
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on before I head out
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: on Friday, and then I come back pretty late on Saturday,
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: and then I got to turn around and do the
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: show on Sunday. I have no idea how prepared I'll be,
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: but we will be doing backlash predictions, So even though
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: we don't have the full card yet, I will be
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: doing backlash predictions on the podcast on Sunday. Talking about
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: the news of the week. Actually, there's a lot of
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: Nick con quotes to talk about and to get into
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: from this town hall that wwe had the other day,
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: so we'll talk about that as well. But yeah, it's
- 1:25:35Speaker 1: gonna be a very busy week and weekend. So thank

- 1:26:26Speaker 1: I lost my grandmother this past Monday at ninety eight
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: years old due to natural causes, and I do miss
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: her dearly. Plus I was crying yesterday in dealing with grief.
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: I'm very sorry to hear about your grandmother. I mean,
- 1:26:42Speaker 1: I can't Unfortunately, you can't relate in my family because
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: so many of the people in my family didn't even
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: make it out of their freaking fifties, let alone like sixties.
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: Sounds like your grandmother lived a nice long life and
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: it's gonna suck for a while. It's a shitty feeling.
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: I'm very sorry to hear that. Anyway, be well, stay
